Information for Letter Writers (and Myself)

Thank you for writing on my behalf! I appreciate that you likely have a ton of these to send out, so I collected some of the basics here. Below is every position I’m applying to this cycle and how each one collects letters.

So, in total, it should be 1 (mathjobs) + 1 (interfolio) + \(N_{\rm portal}\) + 2 (email) uploads by you. Plus, potentially, any that shortlist me longer down the line. For all of these outside of those expecting the direct emailed references, you’ll get the information straight to your inbox at minimum 2 weeks prior.

34 applications: 20 tenure-track, 14 postdoc.
